Sorry bayucca, I don't. it flew away when I tried to get closer. Remember, Archaeoprepona ARE found in this area.

Tricky one! My closest guess would be Archaeoprepona sp., but not really happy with any of them... From the shape of the wings I would exclude Prepona sp. and it is easier to exclude species from Archaeoprepona. Do you have a picture of the underside?
